At The Experiment, you can discover new writers with something to say about how we're getting through the Uncertain Now.

Think of it as a digital magazine delivered as a newsletter every Saturday, when you’ll get essays from Jason Stanford and his smart friends, recommendations for what to read, watch, and listen to, and the latest chapters in Robin Whetstone’s harrowing and hilarious memoir of working in Moscow in the early ‘90s called Red Ticket.

It’s interesting, free, and brief, and you’ll see things in a new way.
